The Cleveland Browns have the toughest Week 4 matchup of any team in the AFC North this week defending their home turf against the Cowboys.

This is an incredibly interesting match up on paper. With big-name players like Amari Cooper, Odell Beckham Jr, Ezekiel Elliott, Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, Myles Garrett, Demarcus Lawerence, Leighton Vander Esch, Denzel Ward, Jaylon Smith, Dak Prescott, and Baker Mayfield, there will be a ton of star talent on the field for this match up.

The Browns have bounced back from a horrid season opener to win their next two games. The Cowboys meanwhile, have been playing their games close in 2020. The only game they won, was a nail-biter against Atlanta 39-40. They dropped a disappointing 3 point loss to the Rams and a 7 point loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

The Cowboys have been underwhelming in 2020 considering the talent on the roster and a lot of that has to due with fairly weak play from the safety position. The Browns are the hottest mess in the league. With all the talent on the offensive side of the ball, they should be one of the highest-scoring teams in the league. This is going to be a close game.

The difference has to come down to QB play between two of the more under-performing teams in the league. I truly do trust Dak Prescott more than Baker Mayfield in every single situation. I think that the Browns have more talent on offense overall, but Mayfield struggles to utilize it consistently. As a result, I expect the Cowboys to pull out the win in Week 4.

My final score prediction: 27-24, in favor of Dallas.
